Guru Lite Review

For all you "label freaks" like myself-Guru Lite is the best "energy drink" on the market (I just wish it was twice the size). The fact that it contains Stevia-over nasty sweeteners such as Aspartame or Splenda is a Huge plus (not counting all the other garbage thrown in those other drinks.) The taste is definitely an aquired one. But for a guy who was downing 3 Sugar free Monsters per day (and my liver enzyme count showed it)...Guru lite has been the perfect replacement...(and my enzymes are back down to normal!!) Let that be a warning to those of you energy drink junkies slamming down 2-3 drinks per day.



Overall-Guru Lite is a great product-and while I love the taste of regular Guru I'll take the 10 calories and no sugar versus 100 calories and 25 grams with the regular.More detail ...

Caution if a statin user

Anyone on a statin drug should not use products with Quercetin as it's a potent inhibtor of CYP3A4 the enzyme that breaks down most drugs in the body (the same reason why you shouldn't eat or drink grapefruit if you use statins). Unfortunately the FRS website doesn't post this anywhere and it's only after you order and receive your order confirmation that they show a note "you can read more about Quercetin at QuercetinFacts.com" which is where this information is posted. Not cool FRS.More detail ...

Good Recovery Drink

I always get fed up reading other reviews that don't help me figure out if I want to buy a product or not so I figured I'd write one on a product that works for me.



The P90X Results and Recovery shake is a good combination of after workout Protien Creatine and Amino-Acids. What does this mean? It means that it has all of the things that every extreme athelete is looking for after a solid workout.



I'm a health nut and I was already a body builder before I started the P90X system. While my normal workouts were tough they never really pushed me to the point of wanting to dry heave but the P90X really allowed me to stretch my self. The first month I went with a standard mix of Creatine* + Protien a couple of times a day and mixed with fruit punch for my recovery drink but I found that I really needed a lot of electrolyte replacement as well. I was feeling very sick (just completely exhausted) after my workouts and I had to drive over to the corner store to pickup a gatorade/powerade before I would start feeling good again. That really started to change my opinions about the need for a purchasing a recovery drink that focused on post workout recovery.



I purchased the P90X Results and Recovery formula during my second month of the P90X workouts and when I got exhausted it really made a huge difference in the 20 minutes directly after the workout. It already has the Creatine Protien and electrolytes all ready to go for the second your done.



Now for the important questions... Was it worth buying? It depends. If you are just doing the workouts and getting slightly winded but not really pushing yourself to an extreme state of fatigue you can get away without using a recovery drink. If you are pushing yourself as hard as you can to the point of complete exhaustion then a recovery drink directly after a workout is mandetory and this one works very effectively. I'm starting my third rotation of P90X and I use this after all of the really intense workouts and my normal protien + fruit punch for all the other workouts. One tub usually lasts me about 2 months.



I gave it 4/5 stars because it does cost a little more and you can get other brands that seem to do as well. You could use a creatine/protien blend and a good sports drink after every workout for the same results although the over all price of doing that would probably be a little bit more than just getting a recovery drink that is specific for post workout recovery.



*Creatine Monohydrate is a dietary supplement that hydrates your muscles and aids in recovery. It is used by a large majority of athletes and body builders to aid in increasing how far you can push yourself in workout sets and minimizing the time between workouts. It is generally recommended to use it for 3 months and then to take a 2-3 month break.



** Several reviews were saying you get the same out of Chocolate Milk... You can't period. There are specific suppliments in a recovery drink that are health industry known for helping in recovery. Ie.. Creatine L-Arginine and L-Glutamine. You can get all of these from other recovery drinks. But chocolate milk won't do it even if it has similar calories to a recovery drink. It's not about the calories/fat/sugar it's about everything else.More detail ...

Good replacement for Gatorade mix

I bought this product with a lot of previous experience with Clif Bar brand having eaten an almost obscene amount (lol) of Clif Bar energy bars over the years. I was looking for an athletic drink mix that was naturally based and without all the heavy sweeteners of those such as Gatorade Powerade and the like but also without the high cost of bottled alternatives like Vitamin Water Life Water etc. I was not disappointed with the Clif Shot though I wish Amazon carried more than just the Lemonade flavor through their website. All the other hits they show are just too expensive for this stuff. The only drawback I can see about the mix itself is that it doesn't immediately dissolve in water and you have to let it sit for about 15 minutes before you stop seeing floating clusters of the stuff suspended in the liquid. But the taste is good and it really does a good job at quenching your thirst after a workout or bike ride etc. I like to take it with me in my water bottle on rides and hikes. Highly recommend as an alternative to the typical "sports drink." - Chief LocowolfMore detail ...

Low carb electrolyte drink. Works great tastes awful

I have been using the Ultima sports drinks for about 3 years now. I commute 30km on my bikedaily in the heat swim and work with a trainer in the gym several times a week. I don't like hi-carb sports drinks and they make me groggy and queasy. I have had good results with the ultima. I use it in my bike bottles daily. I drink it before and after workouts. I sweat like a pig. In the height of summer I leave puddles on the ground when i stop at a red light. My own personal experience is that it helps with the fatigue and cramping. Look at the label and you can see that it is a good balance of electrolytes without the empty carbs.



That's the good news. The bad news? Taste. No way around it. The taste is awful. Raspberry is not bad. Orange is ok. The other flavors are simply wretched.



As noted by other reviewers it takes some effort to dissolve the powder. Don't expect instant gratification. If you just dump it into cold water you will end up with clumps of it. It is easier to dissolve it in some warm water with vigorous shaking. Then add ice / cold water to dilute it to the proper concentration. Even then it takes a lot of shaking/stirring to get most of it dissolved.



It would get 5 stars if it weren't for the taste and the difficulty dissolving the powder.More detail ...

Great Product Horrible Price

Sugarfree Red Bull is by far better than its sugar filled brother. With only 10 calories per can it tastes lighter and crisper than that "other" Red Bull. It can't replace the morning coffee but after a workout it can make you feel significantly better until you can replenish with food.



However the prices on Amazon are NOT a good deal. The only way it is a good deal is if you simply can't find the product anywhere. You can regularly find a 12 pack at any Wal-Mart or grocery store for $20. If you really need 24 then go buy two 12 packs for just over $40. Why would anyone in their right mind pay $10 more? But gas you say? Please if you spend $10 in gas to get to the store then by all means buy your Red Bull here. Anyway to reiterate great product-horrible Amazon prices.More detail ...

not Bad!

These drinks are a vast improvement over any of the protein powders that I've tried! There is a slight filmy aftertaste to them but no where near as unpalatable as powders. but I suggest you drink them as cold as possible for best flavor. They get a bit too sweet as they warm up and the filmy aftertaste becomes more pronounced. I struggle with getting enough protein so these drinks have been extremely helpful!More detail ...

Perfect for coding...

I personally am a connoisseur of energy drinks. I rely on caffeine for most of my projects at school and for late night coding sessions as well as marathon gaming. Although energy drinks can be considered a crutch it's a lifestyle decision that many many people embrace rather than attempt to avoid... I am one of these people.



That said Guru Energy is fairly cheap ($1.25USD/can) if you buy it here off Amazon it comes in the Redbull standard 8.3 fl/oz cans and is shipped in a suprisingly lightweight and compact case (compare this to Monster Rockstar or any other brand with standard 16 fl/oz cans).



The taste like Guru's website describes is very indescribable. It is very sharp and light with a medium amount of carbonation. The caffeine buzz is more "natural"... it has more of an upslope and downslope rather than a sudden cracked out (which is arguably awesome too in its own respect) then big crash sort of feeling. This is because the caffeine in Guru is derived from 125mg of Guaranine (Guarana Herb) rather than synthetically separated then added. There is no mention about how much of the 125mg of Guaranine is real caffeine but since Red Bull checks in at 80mg / 8.3oz it seems that Guru is in pretty good shape.



I think a particular good feature of Guru is that it uses cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. I appriciate a good quality soda particularly microbrew colas and they often exclusively contain cane sugar.



So in summary this energy drink is farily cheap good buzz all natural and great for coding gaming or studying.More detail ...

TRIED & TRUE

Ensure Plus has been my primary source of nutrition for five years now following mouth cancer surgery. I still have a PEG tube but fortunately am able to drink my nutrition. I have tried every liquid supplement on the market. I still do not tire of my favorite vanilla. Their chocolate is also the best chocolate on the market. The creaminess and the depth of flavoring cannot be beat. Try freezing in ice cube trays then blending with a couple of real ice cubes in a blender for a terrific "milkshake." By still having a PEG tube this is a bonafide prescription which is delivered to my home monthly.

Good product

My favorite electrolyte drink. If you are not looking for a carb or protein loaded drink this is the way to go. It is a fluid replenisher that contains an all natural sweetener. It is loaded with electrolytes and vitamins. The perfect sport drink for the kids. The lemonade flavor tastes great. I tried strawberry-banana and was not too pleased with it.



I usually carry two 10oz bottles with me in a 2 hour run. If you are a runner you have to take in your energy from another source like gels or shots because the amount of carbs provided is not enough. The good news is that it is good for the whole family if you live in a hot weather and you spend most of the day sweating.More detail ...

A winner!

I use all the products in the Super-C series and so I will give a review of them all.



Of all the variants the best tasting are Bone & Joint Immunize and Energy. Slender taste okay and Sleep is not that great.

BUT

They all appear to have the effect they promise - which is far more than one can say about many of the "functional beverages" one can purchase.

Although not that great in taste (in my subjective opinion) SLEEP has a really good effect and I could feel that it made me more able to fall asleep. That is quite significant as I suffer from insomnia very often.

BONE&JOINT - which tastes GREAT - actually made my otherwise protesting knees feel good again if I drank the mix about 8-10 hours before heading for the gym.

ENERGY too is effective although the effect is just as subtle and unobtrusive as it promises. This is good unless you want a "burn hot but burn fast" effect which tend to result in a drastic drop in energy one's you settle down again.

As for IMMUNIZE and SLENDER there effects are supposed to occur much more "in the background" - supporting processes in the body without changing them in any way that causes a direct tangible and short-term effect one can feel. But looking at the ingredients it would seem that they do what they are supposed to.



A note should be added to those watching calories as it is easy to miss the fact that SLENDER actually do contain calories while the others do not (per serving that is).



Also and this is not so much critique (perhaps constructive) as suggestion to the producer it would be good if the nutritional information listed the quantities of the vitamins minerals and other effective ingredients instead of just the percentage of suggested daily value. It is difficult for people who for some reason try to calculate daily intake of such ingredients when it does not say how much of them are in each serving.



But this is a great series of drink mixes. Mixes easily does what it says tastes great (except for one in my opinion) and contains nothing one can feel guilty aboutMore detail ...

Works well not the most convenient form

I tried a fair number of bogus products over the years until I found Cheers tablets which worked great and were very convenient. Then Cheers changed their formula and started pushing a liquid form which I disliked. That's when Drinkin' Mate came along. I was very skeptical of the whole backstory behind this guava extract product but I tried it and it really works. It's a little hard to find the same package sizes in stock at any given time but I've re-ordered several times settling for whichever package is available at the time. Although the effervescent tablets are not as convenient to use as the Cheer tablets which I could just pop while drinking the best things about Drinkin' Mate are that one tablet covers me for the whole night (with Cheers the more you drank the more tablets you would need to take) and that Drinkin' Mate works even if you've been drinking for hours before you take Drinkin' Mate (with Cheers you had to take it before you started or soon after you started).



Drinkin' Mate isn't total absolute salvation; I've managed to overdo tequila shots to the point where I still woke up with a splitting headache despite Drinkin' Mate but I can easily offset a half-dozen cocktails or a 6-pack of beer with Drinkin' Mate and be fresh and alert the next morning.More detail ...

ZOIC Nutrition Drink compared to Slim Fast Low Carb

~

Here is a comparative of the Nutrition Facts showing ZOIC first on the left and Slim Fast Low Carb second on the right:



Calories: 110 - 190

Calories from Fat: 10 - 80

Saturated Fat: 0.5g - 1.5g

Trans Fat: 0g - 0g

Cholesterol: 5mg - 15mg

Sodium: 230mg - 260mg

Potassium: 230mg - 550mg

Total Carbohydrate: 5g - 6g

Dietary Fiber: 3g - 4g

Sugars: 1g - 1g

"Net Carbs:" 2g - 2g

Protein: 21g - 20g



The vitamins/minerals are somewhat similar in these two drinks and can be found on the Nutrition Facts on the cans. The biggest difference is that Slim Fast Low Carb has about 73% more calories and 70 more Fat calories per drink.



The taste which I was concerned about when I order my first case of 24 drinks is similar with the main difference that the Slim Fast Low Carb has a smoother creamier texture. I experimented with adding about 80 calories of cream to a ZOIC drink and it definitely acquired a smoother creamier texture. The overall taste of both drinks in my opinion is a good taste; but not a great taste. I would give these products a 4.5 rating if I could.



The Slim Fast Low Carb drink with its extra 70 more calories from Fat seems to satisfy my hunger perhaps 30 minutes longer than the ZOIC drink (without any cream added). ZOIC's package states "meal complement & snack replacement" not a meal replacement; in other words it seems logical that one would add a small portion of other healthful food to make it a meal.



Both drinks refrain from adding any sugar or sugar alcohols (make sure you are comparing Slim Fast "Low Carb" and not other Slim Fast drinks which do have sugar added). Both drinks are free from Trans Fat.



I like to use both drinks to give me variety in taste and calories. The ZOIC drink at only 110 calories is a good choice when I want less calories and less fat calories; perhaps when a planned meal time has to be pushed back in time by a couple of hours. If I need something to skip a meal then I will usually choose Slim Fast Low Carb.



Both of these "Low Carb" drinks are good to have on hand in the refrigerator so you can choose 110 or 190 calories versus some other super-sized 500 plus calorie item that may be in the refrigerator too.

Pretty Darn Good

I was looking for an alternative to the P90X branded Recovery Drank and read a variety of reviews online. I'm quite familiar with Clif products and have found them to be of high quality in my prior purchases. I had no prior experience with any recovery drink and had only mixed L-Glutamine powder in water (with decent results). I was simply looking for something with a bit more nutrients - and when I found Clif's product (that's predominantly ORGANIC - not 100% mind you)...I thought I'd give it a "shot".



Let me first say that the product is incredibly tasty. I've only worked with the mango/orange...but found that one scoop in cold water within 60 minutes of a work out not only is satisfying...it does in fact make me feel better. By adding a banana it's downright sinful - and the extra potassium is more than enough (at least for me) to serve as a meal replacement (or mid-morning snack).



I've not yet mixed it with almond or rice milk nor have I tried the other french vanilla flavor. To date however both my wife and I are extremely satisfied with the results and can recommend it highly if you're considering a Protein Enhanced Drink.More detail ...

Best Energy Drink Ever

I have been drinking Bawls for about 5 years now its been around for a while and was known mainly to the computer gaming crowd. I must admit this stuff is great! It does taste a bit like "Cream Soda" instead of a crazy or bad taste like most energy drinks. Not overwhelming not too sweet. The kick you get is amazing and this is coming from a guy who could take a 64 ounce Coke or Mountain Dew like nothing.

Highly recommended if you want a great tasting product with a high energy kick. If you are worried about carbs or sugar check out the sugar free version of this product also sold here. Bawls Guaranexx Energy Drink Sugar Free 16 Ounces (Pack of 24) I have had it and its not bad at all either. I am glad to see the quality of this product has stayed high throughout its expansion in popularity.More detail ...
